Aquis Exchange Secures Glenn Collinson as New Chair

The exchange services company Aquis Exchange PLC today announced the appointment of Glenn Collinson as its new Chair with effect from 1 January 2022.

According to the official release, Mr Collinson will succeed Niki Beattie who steps down from the Board after nine years, having joined Aquis Exchange as its first Chair in January 2013.

Mr Collinson first joined Aquis' Board in March 2019, and he re-joined the Group's Board on 17 September 2021 as an independent non-executive director (INED).

Mr Collinson started his career at Racal and worked for Motorola, Texas Instruments and Cambridge Consultants Ltd. before co-founding Cambridge Silicon Radio in 1998. Over the course of his career, Mr Collinson has held a number of non-executive directorships in UK and French companies – both public and private – that specialise in technology.

"I am delighted that the Board has chosen Glenn Collinson as Niki's successor. The last nine years have been a transformational period for Aquis Exchange and the Board, under the leadership of Niki, has helped to lay strong foundations for the future. With Glenn's wealth of experience and his knowledge of the Group, with previous stints on both the Aquis Exchange and AQSE boards, I am confident that his energy, perspective and commitment will support Aquis Exchange to go from strength to strength," commented Alasdair Haynes, CEO of Aquis Exchange.
